Funny, I made this post 3 months ago and nothing has changed:

How can you expect people to get behind this when you've isolated the river. The pictures of people milling about in front of the facility is on effing bow trail which is basically a freeway.
The reason they didn't was because the infrastructure costs to do this right (~400 million) are no palatable. All of the sudden the city is having to cough up hundreds of millions of dollars to redevelop an area that it doesn't need right now.
I'm genuinely disappointed with this, mostly because I kept hearing transformative and what we got was honestly, a joke.
